Recipe of the Month
from The American Gourmet Collection Cookbook This month, we offer another Baker's Delight: Poppy Seed Bread. The flavoring amounts look like a misprint, but they are absolutely correct. This bread has an intense flavor, yet is not overpowering; a true old-fashioned classic.

2-1/4 cups Sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
3 beaten Eggs
1-1/2 cups Milk

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together eggs, milk, and oil.
3. Stir liquid ingredients into dry ingredients, just until moistened. Add poppy seed, vanilla, almond extract, and butter flavoring, stirring until well combined.
4. Pour into 2 greased 9 x 5 loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, until bread tests done. Pour glaze over hot bread while still in pans, and allow to stand for 1 hour. Yield: 2 loaves.
